The Island Line Trail Map

New this past summer: the Island Line Trail map. Much like its predecessor, it highlights the waterfront trail, but now expands upon Colchester's, South Hero's, and South Burlington's connector paths.

I love the fold-out style. It's easy to read and also guides users a half mile from lakefront to downtown's pedestrian mall —a big draw for first time visitors to Burlington. I'm so impressed with this year's format that I keep an extra copy to give to Warm Showers guests. Getting around town can be difficult—and even harder to describe—especially cycling to/from our home, a sweaty 200 foot gain from lake level. Now it's as easy as handing fellow cyclers a map and letting them decide which course to follow.
